Glock-18 | Neo-Noir (Battle-Scarred)

This is the Glock-18 | Neo-Noir in Battle-Scarred (BS), which takes 55% of the finish's scale with the band 0.45 to 1.00. The skin is Covert rank, belongs to The Operation Broken Fang Collection and is made for the Terrorist side.

What the Glock-18 | Neo-Noir looks like in Battle-Scarred

The finish centers on a stylized woman, drawn in black and white on a gray ground with magenta and light-blue neon laid over the top. In Valve's description she is a blue-and-purple woman. The slide is dark graphite and carries small red lettering by the muzzle. On the frame the lines turn pale, and the grip has light-blue circles with red dots.

Wear is set at the drop. In Battle-Scarred the paint is heavily scuffed along the slide edges and the trigger guard, and the pink and light blue are duller than in the upper wears. Listings of the Glock-18 | Neo-Noir within 0.45 to 1.00 differ noticeably to the eye.

Where the Glock-18 | Neo-Noir came from

Valve's post about Operation Broken Fang covers new missions, the Retakes mode and the exclusive Premier mode, and it says nothing about this finish. The game opened The Operation Broken Fang Collection on December 3, 2020, and the Glock-18 | Neo-Noir was in it from the first day.

What to check before buying

On a Glock-18 | Neo-Noir listing, these parameters get checked:

• float: nearer 0.45 the artwork is cleaner, nearer 1.00 it has more worn spots;


• the slide edges and the trigger guard, where paint goes first;


• whether the gun carries stickers or a name tag.

Choosing by pattern does not arise on this finish.

What the Glock-18 | Neo-Noir costs in Battle-Scarred

Of all the wears of the Glock-18 | Neo-Noir, Battle-Scarred is the cheapest. Well-Worn costs about a tenth more, and Field-Tested about a quarter more. Minimal Wear costs nearly twice as much. Factory New is dearer by nearly five times.

Among Covert Glock-18 skins in this wear, the finish is second from the bottom: only Gold Toof is cheaper, and practically level. Fully Tuned is dearer by about two fifths, Bullet Queen by nearly twice, and Gamma Doppler (Phase 3 and Phase 4) by three and a half times. The top of the row belongs to Gamma Doppler (Phase 1 and Phase 2) and Ghost Protocol.

Getting the Glock-18 | Neo-Noir

The Glock-18 | Neo-Noir drops from the Operation Broken Fang Case. A trade-up works as well: ten Classified skins from anywhere go in, and the result comes from the collection of one of the inputs. Ten from this collection would steer the result into it, and since it holds two Covert skins, the odds are one in two. Covert skins also feed the craft for a rare special item, gloves with the ★ mark.

StatTrak and Souvenir

This finish comes with StatTrak. Souvenir packages were never issued for it.

Stickers and craft on the Glock-18 | Neo-Noir

The finish is bright, so pink and light-blue stickers merge with the artwork, while white and black ones read separately. The calmest spot for a sticker is the dark front of the slide. Every copy has the same artwork, so a Glock craft in CS2 is built around sticker color.

Who this wear suits

In this wear the Glock-18 | Neo-Noir makes sense if:

• you want a Covert Glock at almost the lowest price among Covert Glock-18 skins;


• a bright neon design matters more than clean paint;


• you need a pistol for the Terrorist side in CS2 that stands out.
